阿尔卑斯滨海省

France Travel Photos 法国各地区的信息。

All the way down in the south east of France along the Mediterranean, and next to the Italian border, are the Maritime Alps and the world renowned French Riviera (Côte d'Azur in french).

The slopes and the sea are merely an hour apart by car. The sun is legendary shining 320 days a year.

From Cannes to Nice going through Antibes and Menton all the way to the Italian border this area is one not only of beauty but of prestige. The coastline is spotted with turn of the century mansions and modern luxury homes.

During the summer months when the Côte d'Azur is particularly lively one can find sunbathers on the beaches of sand or pebbles and strollers leisurely walking along the Croisette in Cannes or the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.

As soon as one leaves the sea going inland the landscape changes radically. The roads spiral through the hills and the mountains jutting up high above the water. The vegetation changes; its Mediterranean nature showing through.

The city of Grasse has become the perfum center of France thanks to all of these aromatic plants.

Right in the north of the departement are the Alps with their snowy peaks and their sunny ski resorts, some within an hour's drive from the sea. 80% of this departement is mountainous, offering fabulous skiing in the winter.

The park of Mercantour spreads out over 120 km. from the Col de Tende to Ubaye. It is a natural reserve sheltering many species of animals and plants all in a magnificient setting of 68.500 ha.
